MAP Overview 211

RF Auto-Tuning

The RF Auto-Tuning feature dynamically assigns channel and power settings to MAP radios, and adjusts those settings when needed. RF Auto-Tuning can perform the following tasks:

„Assign initial channel and power settings when a MAP radio is started.

„Periodically assess the RF environment and change the channel or power setting if needed.

„Change the transmit data rate or power to maintain at least the minimum data rate with all associated clients.

By default, RF Auto-Tuning is enabled for channel configuration but disabled for power configuration.

(For more information, see Chapter 14, “Configuring RF Auto-Tuning,” on page 311.)

Default Radio Profile

MSS contains one default radio profile, named default. To apply common parameters to radios, you can modify the default profile or create a new one. When you create a new profile, the radio parameters in the profile are set to their factory default values.

Radio-Specific Parameters

The channel number, transmit power, and external antenna parameters are unique to each radio and are not controlled by radio profiles.

Table 13 lists the defaults for these parameters.
